Life is Strange: Before the Storm

LIFE IS STRANGE: Before the Storm (2017) Chloe Price and Rachel Amber, once passing strangers to one another, become close friends under strange circumstances, their individual experiences drawing them together. Chloe is a young teen struggling from loss in Arcadia Bay, Oregon.

This was an interesting prequel to Life is Strange. I don't see why there has been so much hate. Sure, it wasn't quite the same, had less sci-fi, supernatural element, and delved deeper into psychological pain and trauma, but it was still a beautiful and moving game. I do wish they had kept the same actress as Chloe from the original but this actress was certainly not bad, just different enough to notice.

Behind the mask of the lovable, snarky, quirky and high-energy persona that Chloe wears, there is also a lot of depth there. Even though Chloe is rebellious, hot-headed, immature and somewhat selfish, she was probably everyones favorite character from the original LiS game. It was great to see her story, what experiences made her who she was later on. And regardless of her faults, she is very human character and highly relatable and lovable. Her character is tormented by loss, and memory and coping the pain and change as best as she can. This game offers a beautiful glimpse into that past and explores who Rachel Amber really was to her.

Developed by Deck Nine and published by Square Enix, Life is Strange: Before the Storm was a good installment and prequel to an intriguing series. This was a very memorable game. Can't wait to continue following the series and see where it leads.

STORY: 9/10 GAMEPLAY: 9/10 GRAPHICS: 9/10 ART DESIGN: 10/10 MUSIC: 8/10 OVERALL RATING: 8.5.

LIS: Before The Storm is my favourite of the series. Chloe as a character is much more of a interesting character in my opinionover Max as she is a very flawed human being with a more intriguing personality though this is basically up to preference. In order to get the full experience from this game make sure to play the original life is strange first or the game won't have the same impact unless you know the backstory and relationships formed from the knowledge you gained in the first LIS. This game is the only game to really hit deep and genuinely make me very sad at the end. I ended up sympathizing these characters even though I knew in the back of my head they were not real I still sat there at the end of the game really sad. This is not a happy game and is very upsetting. On paper It might appear to be happy ride but you would know not all is what it seems if you've played the first. Really reccomend this masterpiece of a story.

I played it with friends who didn't play the original and they were amazed by the incredible story as a stand-alone. Its like a grow up novel amd i think they should be teaching that in school instead of the catcher in the rye

I luv it very much waiting for the life is strange 2 for the android and i gave it 7 stars cuz there's no much outfits for chloe in android like there's in pc that's not fair and the graphics isn't as cool as the first one but the story is pretty good.

Perfect, play this game its really good. Also one of my favorite games
